The ABC of Shadow EV Charging
Necessary Basic Terms
Shadow Power
The underutilized electrical power in a building.
Shadow Power Charging
Harness shadow power to supply EV charging points.
Smart Charging
Automatically managed charging.
Load Management System (LMS)
A system necessary for the management, monitor, coordination and allocation of the load for each charging point connected. Standard element for smart charging.
Power Management System
A system necessary for capturing, managing and controlling the source power, such as Shadow Power, for EV charging points. This is not a standard function from the smart charging systems in the market.
Super Load Management System (SLMS)
SLMS is a LMS but it performs better and more functions than common LMS in the market. It not only conducts genuine dynamic load management, in which the charging power for a fully-charged EV can be released to boost the rest of EVs in charging, but is also capable of performing management on the power source side. The PSN-EVC system is a Super Load Management System rarely found in the market.
PSN
Power System Neutral (PSN) is a unique power management system developed for the capturing and management of Shadow Power.
EVC
EV Charging (EVC) acts as a load management system for smart charging.
PSN-EVC
A comprehensive system comprises of a standard SLMS (EVC) and a PMS (PSN) as a bonus for smart and green EV charging solution.
EV charging installation issues
Upgrading electrical power capacity to support EV charging facilities costs a lot of money!
How to ensure safety with scattered private chargers installed and operated by owners themselves? Are there any charging fire hazards?
Manage the queue for charging? Any user guide? Repair? Do we have to prepare special manpower for management or maintenance?
EV charging requires additional power source. A great deal of additional electricity means a bigger tariff bill in the future. Besides the upfront cost, is the operation and maintenance cost affordable? Who will pay the money? Premises owners? EV owners?
Electrical facilities for EV charging are a bit complicated and professional. During the installation and operation, it involves authority or the grid company for approvals. Where can we find qualified party to advise us and do all the proceeds for us?
Electricity supply for extra EV charging could be scaled down or simply cut by government or the grid company in peak hours!
Sometimes getting the approvals from authority and the grid company or even from tenants is difficult and tiresome!
